What we know so far about the deadly New Orleans truck attack on New Year's Day

Early Wednesday, Texas man Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a truck through a New Orleans street, killing 15 people, in what the FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism.

Just hours into 2025, an attack in New Orleans killed 15 people and injured dozens more.

Early Wednesday, a Texas man drove a truck through a street of New Year's revelers in what the FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism. The attack took place on Bourbon Street, a popular party destination.

Authorities have identified the suspect as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, and revealed that his truck flew an Islamic State flag during the attack. Jabbar died Wednesday in a gunfight with police.

Around 3:15 a.m. local time, the suspect drove a white Ford pickup into New Year's celebrations. He drove his truck, which was flying an ISIS flag, onto a sidewalk and bypassed a police vehicle, officials said.

After Jabbar crashed the truck, he opened fire on police officers, wounding two. Jabbar was killed.
